So, I know there are hundreds of 'can I play offline' topics, and I'll admit to having the same curiousity, myself. But, the general consensus seems to be 'no, stop asking'. So, rather than do the same thing as every other topic, I'd rather explore the miraculous world of theory. So, thoretically, would it be possible to trick the game into thinking you were online, while you actually played offline? Like a spoofer or patch or something?
